[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
From what I saw the phone restores memory after the factory reset. What I've done is this:

- at 105 MB free I have downloaded and installed an application from Market

- space dropped to about 97 MB; moved the app to sd card

- space jumped to 103 MB

- removed the application (uninstalled), checked internal memory: 103 MB. After about 3 minutes, the memory was cleared automatically and it was back to 105 MB.

My fear now is that there is a glitch somewhere in the software (maybe between app2sd and the htc sense?!) and sometimes the downloaded data does not delete whatsoever. Basically I presume that factory reset is required once the memory reaches ~20 MB.

I have noticed that there is an issue with space removal if you download apps from HTC Likes and HTC Hub.

Other issue I have seen and corrected:

1. As I bought the phone for the keyboard awesomeness that it holds, I am using it for emails (mostly), Gmail and work. The work email has a lot of huge attachments.

2. Initially I have set to retrieve all emails with all attachments automatically therefore internal memory dropped from 105 MB to 15 MB. Apparently email attachments are stored in the internal memory, even if I have set it to sdcard (this problem was seen before the factory reset; fixed with the reset).

3. Changed mail settings to retrieve text only, emails newer than 14 days.

4. Thinking of clearing the maps data and get a different gps navigation software that has maps included (igo, sygic) which can be placed on the sd card. Currently my maps takes about 5 MB of internal data.

I hope this is helpful.
[HTC ChaCha] sadakochin:
Great tip, thanks. Currently hovering at 50mb with all the apps i currently use. Looks like I'll be S-Off when I'm able to
[HTC ChaCha] Jorinde123:
Darktremor an option?

Will Darktremor bring anything usefull? Will it work? Of course first the huge problem of rooting (and s-off?) the bloody thing... But I'm afraid i'll stick to SE. I won this phone over a contest, I like it. Really! It is soooo nice to have a touchscreen ánd a non-slide QWERTY keyboard...

The ridiculously small amount of internal storage is such a pain in the ***.
[HTC ChaCha] ABR2704:
The chacha is great phone it just needs some internal memory - about 5gb.

Wonder if there's away?
[HTC ChaCha] freakysands:
i use link2SD and it works fine...i've got 70-80megs free internal storage with my custom rom
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Which Rom you using?

Sent from my Chacha
[HTC ChaCha] freakysands:
i'm running FreakCha 1.3 on my device
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Where did you get it please?

Actually looking at your name, did you make it?

Care to share it ??

Cheers !

[HTC ChaCha] freakysands:
ckeck your private messages.

as soon as i get 10 entries, i'll share it
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Thanks, I'll give it a go today!

Much appreciated!!

Sent from my Chacha
[HTC ChaCha] freakysands:
feedback would be nice :)
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
initial quick feedback, only had it on a few hours!

free memory at start was 80, now its 65 but may settle..

It has no calculator or alarm app, but ive installed these from market...

lock screen is more standard android, i hate that ring pull one!

quick, clean.

has link2sd already on it but my existing ext was not recognised, so i **backed up** card, re did ext using cwm and its works a treat.

thanks!!
[HTC ChaCha] darthmelk:
I bought this phone for my gf. After a week, with only a few installed apps, it was running out of memory all the time. Then I tried the hard reset and indeed I got to 100 MB free memory.

After installing about 50 MB worth of apps and moving all I could (half) to SD, the phone settled to 30 MB free memory. Don't ask me how this is possible, even after I clear the cache from all apps, I should have 50-70 MB free. But let's say 30 MB was OK, since there's no need for more apps.

Without installing anything else, only using Gmail, YMail, Google Reader, Facebook, Maps, Music, eBuddy etc. for three weeks, the phone got to 1 MB free memory yesterday, meaning it can't start Google Maps or play music. Clearing cache again manually for all apps got it to 13 MB. I wonder where the hell does the internal memory vanish...

This phone is a piece of crap, that's all I can say.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
You tried link2ds?

I use a rom from here and link2sd and have removed gmail, use k9 instead as that can go on sd.

I have 106mb free.

I agree internal space is rubbish, but with my set up this may just make it usable!

You got to love the keyboard surely?!
[HTC ChaCha] theloginwithnoname:
Cache and data, my friend; cache and data.

Beginning to get on my nerves too. I'm at about 25Mb left (from a fresh reset) and not much lower is when it stops syncing.

Fairly tempted to buy a clip and get rooting...
[HTC ChaCha] sabesh:
The Alarm function is in the Clock app.
[HTC ChaCha] knowsnophones:
Since this phone's internal memory is very low, around how many new apps are you guys able to install while still keeping the phone operating smoothly?

Where are text messages stored?

Where are photos stored?

Will I run out of text message storage?

What solutions are available for this internal memory problem?

How often does this memory low problem occur to you guys?

What if I only instal 2-3 apps of around 10MB each, will it still bug me with low memory problems?

Thanks
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
If you use link2sd you can use as many apps as your card (and partition) allows.

Can't praise that app enough! The phone treats them as still being on phone widget wise, but not memory wise.
[HTC ChaCha] knowsnophones:
Is that not possible without rooting? I have never had an android so I have no experience rooting.

Is it impossible to move apps from market and store them to the SD card.

Thanks.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
All the downloaded apps can be moved to SD card.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
But, widgets won't work with normal style move to SD.

It's an Android "feature"
[HTC ChaCha] knowsnophones:
Oh alright. Great! At least I don't have to root my phone first.

Hmmm seems like I have to root the phone sooner or later.

Quick question, with a rooted phone, could I still use HTC SENSE as my UI or do I have to use other ROMs?
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
ROM 1.2 light - which I'm using, has HTC sense on it (and loads of free space too)

So you can have root and HTC sense.
[HTC ChaCha] knowsnophones:
Wow thanks!

By the way, will any class of MicroSD card work for the HTC chacha?

WIll using a class 4 or class 6 improve performance?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Downloaded widgets can be moved and will work on SD card. :)

Basically everything that you download from android market can be moved to SD card.
[HTC ChaCha] knowsnophones:
Even with a stock from store without rooting my phone?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Yep, that's what APP2SD means :)
[HTC ChaCha] knowsnophones:
Wow, thanks sir for the replies. By the way, is APP2SD an app from the android market or is this an in-built feature within the HTC Chacha?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
It's actually an android application. It's quite old and people nowadays stopped using it as internal memories for devices are usually 512MB-1GB in size (even more). HTC included APP2SD in ChaCha since the device has only 150 MB for users.
[HTC ChaCha] knowsnophones:
Alright sir, Thanks. I will be getting my chacha soon. Appreciate the help.

To anyone who knows, will class 4 and class 6 microSD cards work on the HTC Chacha?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Unnoticeable differences :) You can use any of them.
[HTC ChaCha] Luggruff:
No. Only bought market apps are remembered by market after a reset. The way it's always been. If you want to backup all apps you've downloaded, you have to use titanium backup or another backup app.

Class 4 and 6 is faster than the standard class 2, so everything read from the memory card will be read faster.. yes.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
We are speaking of applications from Android Market (and widgets also), as this forum is designed to; not applications from "unknown" sources :)

As for the SD card, the difference is very small between the two classes.
[HTC ChaCha] sabesh:
One side loaded app remembered by market Is Quickoffice Pro.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
This is my list ^_^ (copy-pasted from Android Market, some of them I downloaded just for testing):

[HTC ChaCha] Belasito:
It sure is a piece of crap, that HTC ChaCha, at least when we talk about the memory! It's constantly running out of memory, resulting in not being able to open certain applications, even the default ones. I'm constantly having troubles to even open up the gallery!!?? It's really incredible. I use "Android Assistant" almost every day to give it a 'fast boost', clear the cache and clear the data. Most of the times it helps, but then when I have a lot of mms messages on my phone, I also have to delete those in order to get the gallery working again!

HTC should really do something about it with a firmware upgrade or whatever, because even the Facebook button, which is like THE marketing thing of this phone, can't often be used because you also get the "not enough memory" message ... :s
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Reset to factory data then move everything to SD card. You can move all your downloaded apps&widgets to SD card and get the free space. Also you can set different apps to use the SD card as memory storage (Mail attachments for example).

I have 90MB free space with more apps and widgets than you might imagine.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Alex , do you find (like I am) that of still slowly decreases over time?

Usually worst drop is after updating apps as the market is an internal stored app and seems to hog resources
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Hmm... Might have lost 2MB in 3-4 days, I don't know for sure.. I'll have to remove cache for all apps to check it, but mainly no. Depends, which sw are you using? I'm running on 1.33.
[HTC ChaCha] knowsnophones:
If I do the hard reset, my contact will be deleted right?

where do you guys back up your contacts?

Or do you guys write it all down on paper or type it up somewhere?

Does google have a way to back it up?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Synced with GMail server.

There is another thread around here regarding contacts syncing with Google.
[HTC ChaCha] knowsnophones:
Since you are slowly losing memory over time, how often do you have to do the hard reset? more than once a month?
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
I've not done one yet,trouble with hard reset is having to re load non market apps, settings etc.

No doubt I'd have to re partition SD too as every Rom I've tried so far has meant having to do it in order for Link2sd to work.

Free memory is fluctuating on a daily basis between 74 and 92 these days!

Currently 82, so every few hours I clean up with various apps, actually I'm getting a bit obsessed with freeing it up.. should just leave it alone. But when it started above 100 the gradual decrease bothers me!

Having said that, checked Mrs HTC desire yesterday, less than 17 was free so maybe I should chill!!
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Which reminds me, why don't Google allow maps and gmail onto SD, that would fix most peoples problem!!!
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Because there are better GPS and Mail apps out there and they are afraid that people will stop using them :D

Actually it's a marketing/PR thing. Since Android was made by Google it MUST contain them inside the ROM, as APP2SD is not that old (as Android). I presume that they forgot to activate the option to allow this.

That "Updates cannot be installed blablabla" message is just an excuse.

Also, you should really perform a factory reset (at least once) after the initial setup of the phone (the first time you power on the phone out of the box).

As for the memory, yeah it's slowly draining since application's cache is getting higher and higher.
[HTC ChaCha] droople:
by link2SD, I managed to installed 320MB apps in my Chacha:p, 38mb left:(

ps no games
[HTC ChaCha] nkoleff:
I got it fixed by the 'software reset' way.
[HTC ChaCha] knowsnophones:
Where does the voice recorder save recorded files? Is there an option to save in the SD card since the internal memory is very low?
[HTC ChaCha] schölli:
had the same problem with the chacha i bought for my girlfriend...the memory was always low and she couldn't open applications like gallery or take photos....

tried everything from deleting cache and deleting unnecessary apps, but the only way that works really well is the a2sd/link2sd integration of a custom rom. now the phone has an internal memory of nearly 90mb, and everything else is on the sd...especially the dalvik cache, with is on the chacha over 50mb....

so i hope htc learns from their failure and i hope there next keyboard android phone has a little bit more than 150mb internal memory....really htc...wtf?!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Now this ROM it's being Managed by Eyama.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mukptl:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] s0ftcorn:
BUYA! Another awesome rom from D4. Cant wait to flash it to my device. Keep up the great work D4!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Gustavo RD78:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Andreson01:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kormatoes:
Want want want lol always want

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Vince9:
But what are the real advantages of Ginger DX? (on froyobread or original se rom)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] s0ftcorn:
Go to X8 forums and read it ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] blue_moon:
no, will not be 5mp, will be 3mp because x8 has a 3mp cam.

Edit:doixnanh released his gingerbread rom and it has fully working camera.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stelios97:
I will do it for x10 mini!!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gdeliana:
Yeah even to me the same :(. What's wrong i was impatiently waiting to try it and now this.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eyama:
i don't know what is wrong with this app but i can't decompile it:/ i think that something i wrong with this launcher.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] madman_01:
Thanks for replying...:) Here's the download link of the original file... Plz Take a look on it.. if it still doesn't work, I have nothing to request.... Thanks a lot again....:) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KD8LBMEL
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eyama:
it is same cand decompile it :/ but i see that the launcher is for 2.1.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jason2005:
same problem, no ask pin code :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] royalbloodvi:
1) Yep, same prob no pin code equals no phone signal.

2) Dialer screen is now messed up

Went back to v005..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
What it's "no pin"?, also, can you even boot? I mean, If you can open theme chooser, try choosing a LDPI theme.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] royalbloodvi:
No pin, meaning, our sim card pin.

2) undervolt option is no longer there..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ycke:
I'm not able to boot into the OS.

I cleared the cache, did factory reset and cleared the dalvik cache. Stil it isn't booting.

I had to move back to my v5 back which was working perfectly.

Greetz YcKe
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Sp4rrow:
After clean install phone stucks at welcome screen. The only option available is language selection. Can't continue further. There's no pin code pop-up
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] caalca:
For all the people who is having problems with the touchscreen, and the "pin", try to do a clean install, fix the phone with SEUS or Pc companion (it is the same). I had the same problems and now the rom works perfectly.

Thanks D4 again for porting this rom and also Eyama because of his help :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Yes, tried again, and for me works like a charm, can't reproduce the issue.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
Loving the ROM, just downloading v6 now. v5 seemed to have an intermitted problem regarding wifi where it would drop out every few minutes and then reconnect which was a pain if you were downloading anything. All else seems good.

Any chance that the 'spare parts' tools could be integrated in the next package?

Good work though.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] coversnail:
Spare Parts is available from the Android Market if you need it. Unless you meant something completely different :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eyama:
i see that framework need to be litle resize i will do that for you if you want;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Thanks, im working on a project, btw wanna show you what it's my project (Eyama already knows but I think not even he guess what it's :D)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eyama:
wooow this is great project keep the good work.

now it will be just clicking for making update.zip :)

nice one D4
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] KamiKaaze:
@D4rKn3sSyS

Very good start with the port of this rom, now downloading the latest version....

I think this one allready or will become "a piece of art" ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
not sure about my sanity atm, since i've not seen anyone post about this yet, but normally before installing a rom, i add/remove apps to make it more to my liking. except, when I do that now, it won't boot at all anymore :eek: or will it?

I installed an unmodified version as well, and that wouldn't boot either, but when i waited about 10 minutes it did boot. and then i couldn't touch the android to begin :(

I'm not finished tho XD i'm gonna restore backup next, then install it without wiping and see if it boots if i wait long enough again.

I'm just guessing something is being installed with the wrong permissions :o
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
hmmmm.. same issue here. I can select the 'change language icon' but cannot select the android pic, it highlights it but goes no further.

I've deleted all the caches and perform factory reset.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
thanks, just me being thick there :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
does yours boot into OS tho?

gonna try a SEUS restore, see if it makes a difference for me
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gdeliana:
"Unable to find ITelephony interface" could that be the problem?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anon67:
boot into OS ? no screen - blank ..even if screen comes up for 1 sec - (welcome screen) - touch unresponsive.

did a restore from SEUS ..will try now . Not sure why i needed it though ;-) already had latest firmware and baseband ..was using gingerdx v1 already :)

will report back.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
Reinstalled v005, it worked. So installed v006 over it without wiping... booted into os, backgrounds and all customisations are there, however, the phone reports no mobile network available and the dialler is missing (force closes if you click it). Reset phone and wiped caches/factory reset, reboots to android startup screen but clicking on the 'droid or emergency dialler doesn't work - touch screen does work however as I can select the change language icon and scroll through it.

It looks as though there are bits missing in v6 or incorrectly set up.

Can reinstall and use v005 without issues.

Please, if you can fix the framework. One of the most beaufiful things on this rom are the big icons and big statusbar, here are some pictures.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Carpe-Dimi:
Still the same problem, coming from fresh SEUS install :s and this is the rom that booted into the "touch android to begin" screen before too :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gdeliana:
Me too i did install stock rom then gingerdx v6 and the android buddy doesn't bring me nowhere else :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chrisnkazz:
+1 :( .
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hansip87:
+1 Me too :( and worse, i get a bootloop, even from clear SEUS install, and wiping all the cache and dalvik cache, still bootloop :(

and dang, unfortunately i lost my original GingerDX v5.. >_< can you, d4, upload the last one too?
